A shortage of computer memory devices is expected in the world market

2027 is expected to be the most difficult period for users worldwide intending to upgrade their computer hardware. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to Kwak Noh-jun, the head of South Korea's SK hynix, the global memory device market may face the most serious shortage in its history. This situation will lead not only to a sharp increase in prices but also to a shortage of components.

These forecasts are causing serious concerns in the world of computer technology. In an interview with international news agencies, the head of SK hynix emphasized the disruption of the balance between supply and demand.

According to him, the current capabilities of manufacturers are insufficient to fully satisfy customer demand, and it is highly likely that this negative situation will continue even after 2030. The rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies is cited as the main reason for such a global shortage.

Modern AI accelerators require a huge volume of high-bandwidth memory chips. The production of such chips is a much more complex and resource-intensive process compared to traditional RAM.

They require advanced technological methods and more raw materials for a single finished module. Therefore, the world's largest manufacturers are directing a large part of their capacities specifically toward products intended for artificial intelligence.

This leads to a decrease in the volume of traditional memory devices intended for ordinary computers and servers. Long-term contracts between large corporations are further complicating the market situation.

As giant companies reserve production capacities in advance, a shortage of components arises for retail trade and smaller buyers. According to analytical data, contract prices for memory devices have already begun to rise, and this process is expected to continue unabated.

This news is also of significant importance for the Uzbekistan market, as the prices of laptops and personal computers entering our country directly depend on the situation in the global market. The increase in the cost of memory chips will significantly increase the costs of assembling a new system or upgrading an existing computer.

In conclusion, while technological giants are focusing their attention on the high-profit field of artificial intelligence, ordinary users should be prepared for high prices and shortages. Experts recommend those planning to upgrade their computer hardware to complete this process as soon as possible.
